I think "true motorsport" is a cop-out phrase that's meaningless. If people want to compare engines, at least talk about tangible things instead of fluffy concepts like "true motorsport."

The M10, an engine from their regular production line, has more motorsport cred than any other engine they've produced --- it won an F1 championship, and the S14, heart of the most successful touring race car ever, is based on the M10. The S70/2 is probably the only other street engine they make that can come close to it in terms of motorsport cred, and mainly because it won Le Mans overall twice in two different forms.

Dinan-built S62s have done really well in Grand Am. I don't know which engine Dinan uses these days.

in reality there was only 1 non-M motor
the US e36 M3, and even it was made by M (or Motorsport) GmbH (not BMW) as stated on the serial number plate
this was basically a hopped up std 3 series I6
euro got a 6 throttle body, high compression, high rev'ing (7800 rpm) motor
